What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Nathan Hager.
And I'm Karen Moscow.
Karen, we begin with a powerful winter storm that pounded a large part of the country. For the very latest, we bring in Bloomberg meteorologist Craig Allen. Craig, tell us it's over.
Yes, Nathan, it's basically over.
What impact did the winter storm have on the East Coast?
The core of the storm is over. The main precipitation in the form of snow, sleet and ice is continuing over upstate New York and across portions of Maine. Boston is still under a winter storm warning this morning because of leftover ice. In other words, a little bit of freezing rain and freezing drizzle. Washington, D.C. as well. The New York City area, there's nothing more right now than a cold weather advisory. Same thing on down towards Washington, D.C. The problem here is that whatever we picked up over the weekend is not going anywhere fast. It was approximately a 5 to 10 inch snowfall for D.C. and Baltimore, 10 to 15, as you know, around New York City and 15 to 20 up towards Boston. And there were some sections of New England that picked up over 20 inches of snow, came close to about two feet.
So now you've got this this ice that's sitting on top of the snow and it's just going to get harder and harder to move snow. So any kind of clearing during the day today or the next several days is going to be very, very tough.
All right. Bloomberg meteorologist Craig Allen, thank you. Of course, we'll be checking in with you throughout the morning. And travel, particularly through the air, continues to be a major headache this morning. Bloomberg's Lisa Mateo continues our team coverage in New York. Lisa, good morning.
Yeah, good morning, Karen. Airlines in the U.S., they are just trying to get their schedules back on track. But it is a tough battle ahead after that winter storm. It caused the most flight cancellations since the pandemic. Now, according to FlightAware, more than 3,600 flights, they were canceled as of this morning. And that's down from the roughly 11,600 cancellations on Sunday. You have airlines like United, JetBlue, Delta. They've all said they're looking to get back up and running. But as you've been hearing from Craig Allen, the extremely cold air, icy conditions at airports, along the roads and highways, that's going to continue to make travel difficult. U.S. power grids are also being put to the test.
More than 800,000 homes and businesses nationwide have been without electricity. In New York, Lisa Mateo, Bloomberg Radio.
All right, Lisa, thank you. Well, now we want to get to the latest from Minnesota, where two very different messages are emerging after a Border Patrol agent killed an ICU nurse in Minneapolis over the weekend. Democratic Governor Tim Walz is renewing his call for ICE agents to leave his state after the shooting death of Alex Preddy.
What side do you want to be on? The side of an all-powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace, and kidnap its citizens off the streets are on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such government.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is accusing federal authorities of sullying Preddy's name by saying he brandished a weapon and violently resisted attempts to disarm him. Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Greg Bovino says the investigation will continue. I wasn't there wrestling that assaultive subject that was assaulting Border Patrol agents. I wasn't there wrestling him myself, so I'm not going to speculate. Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and Governor Tim Walz held competing news conferences yesterday. Video shot by bystanders showed Preddy with a phone in his hand as he stepped between an agent and a woman on the street. During the scuffle, agents appeared to find a 9mm semi-automatic handgun on Preddy, then opened fire after he was disarmed.
Preddy was licensed to carry a concealed weapon.
Nathan, after Freddie's killing, more than 60 CEOs of Minnesota-based companies are calling for an immediate de-escalation of tensions between federal, state, and local authorities.
